Winemaker Notes
A Marriage of Tradition and Innovation The chief winemaker at Bodegas Concavins, Josep Vadri, received his training in France, Australia, and Chile, where he learned Old World traditions of excellence as well as New World technologies for bringing out the best the grapes have to offer. His passion is to fuse the complementary ideals of tradition and innovation so that the consumer can enjoy an exciting, well-made wine that is exquisite on the palate.

Tasting Notes "Very deep purple-red color. On the nose, it is fruity and spicy, with a hint of vanilla coming from the oak aging. It is round, supple, and fruit-driven in the mouth, with a long and elegant finish."
Spanish red wine is known for being bold, heady, rustic and age-worthy, Spain is truly a one-of-a-kind wine-producing nation. A great majority of the country is hot, arid and drought-ridden, and since irrigation has only been recently introduced and (controversially) accepted, viticulture has sustained—and flourished—only through a great understanding of Spain’s particular conditions. Large spacing between vines allows each enough resources to survive and as a result, the country has the most acreage under vine compared to any other country, but is usually third in production.
Of the Spanish red wines, the most planted and respected grape variety is Tempranillo, the star of Spain’s Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. Priorat specializes in bold red blends, Jumilla has gained global recognition for its single varietal Monastrell and Utiel-Requena has garnered recent attention for its reds made of Bobal.
